Definitions
- Fresh water is one of the most fundamental needs of humans and other organisms. Each human needs to consume a minimum of about two liters per day in addition to greater fresh-water demands from farming as well as from industrial processes. Meanwhile, techniques for transporting fresh water or for producing fresh water via desalination tend to be highly demanding of increasingly scarce supplies of affordable energy.
- electrochemical methods such as electrodialysis
- ED electrochemical desalination
- CD capacitive desalination
- Certain solvents such as edible oils (e.g., soybean oil) and some fatty acids, possess an unusual characteristic of being able to directionally dissolve water while not dissolving other water-soluble salts, such as sodium chloride, or impurities and while being insoluble or almost insoluble in water (i.e., water dissolves into the majority directional solvent phase, but the directional solvent does not dissolve into the majority water phase by more than trace amounts).
- water dissolves into the majority directional solvent phase, but the directional solvent does not dissolve into the majority water phase by more than trace amounts.
- a saline solution e.g., sea water
- the directional solvent ca n include a carboxylic acid (i.e., a compound that includes a carboxyl group, R-COOH), such as decanoic acid, CH 3 (CH 2 ) 8 COOH.
- the saline solution and solvent are heated before or after contact to enhance the directional dissolution of water into the solvent and to thereby produce distinct phases, a first phase that includes the solvent and water from the saline solution and a second phase that includes a highly concentrated remainder of the saline solution.
- the first phase separates from the second phase and is extracted.
- the second phase can be extracted from the first phase.
- the extracted water can be in the form of substantially pure water (e.g., suitable for industrial or agricultural use or even meeting drinking-water standards of purity, such as 99.95% purity).
- the methods of this disclosure can use low-quality heat, which can come from terrestrial heat sources, from the ocean, from the sun, or as waste heat from other processes. These desalination methods ca n also be easy to use and can offer significant energy and economic savings over present desalination methods.

- first, second, third, etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, these elements are not to be limited by these terms. These terms are simply used to distinguish one element from another. Thus, a first element, discussed below, could be termed a second element without departing from the teachings of the exemplary embodiments.
- spatially relative terms such as “above,” “upper,” “beneath,” “below,” “lower,” and the like, may be used herein for ease of description to describe the relationship of one element to another element, as illustrated in the figures. It will be understood that the spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the apparatus in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the apparatus in the figures is turned over, elements described as “below” or “beneath” other elements or features would then be oriented “above” the other elements or features. Thus, the exemplary term, “above,” may encompass both an orientation of above and below. The apparatus may be otherwise oriented (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein interpreted accordingly.
- a batch, lab-scale exemplification of a desalination process is broadly and schematically illustrated in FIG. 1 with various stages shown in greater detail in FIGS. 2-9.
- the process ca n also be carried out on a larger, industrial scale using larger, automated apparatus.
- the process can also be conducted in a continuous, staged process, where the saline solution is continuously input and substantially pure water is continuously output.
- FIG. 1 commences at stage A with the addition of a saline solution 12 and heat, Q, to a directional solvent 14 in a container 16.
- the directional solvent 14 and saline solution 12 are mixed 11 to produce an emulsion 22, as shown in stage B.
- water from the saline solution then dissolves 13 into the directional solvent through stage C; and the concentrated remainder 30 of the saline solution settles 15 to the bottom of the container 16 into stage D.
- the container 16 is then removed from the heat source and the solution of water in the directional solvent is decanted 17 from the container into a secondary vessel in stage E and left to cool to precipitate 19 water from the solution, as shown in stage F.
- the precipitated water settles 21 to the bottom of the vessel in stage G and is then recovered 23 as substantially pure water from the bottom of the vessel in stage H.
- the directional solvent can then be reused 25 as the process is repeated with additional saline solution.
- a saline solution 12 is added to a container (e.g., a beaker) 16 filled with a directional solvent 14 at or near room temperature (e.g., 25-35°C).
- the saline solution 12 can be naturally occurring— for example, in the form of saline water extracted from the sea.
- the directional solvent 14 ca n be, for example, an edible oil, such as soybean oil, palm oil, rapeseed oil, coconut oil or linseed soil, that includes fatty acids.
- the directional solvent ca n consist essentially of one or more select fatty acids.
- Suitable fatty acids can include carbon chains of, for example, 6 to 13 carbon atoms, such as decanoic acid, which has a carbon chain length of 10 carbon atoms.
- the fatty acid ca n also be a solid at room temperature (e.g., at about 30°C and/or below).
- Decanoic acid is considered substantially insoluble in water (e.g., dissolving in water up to only about 40-50 parts per million); and decanoic acid is relatively harmless to humans, as it is naturally found in milk.
- a hydrophilic hydroxide group from the fatty acid may bind to water from the saline solution.
- the container 16 with the combined saline solution 12 and the directional solvent 14 are then mixed to form an emulsion.
- mixing can be carried out on a magnetic stirring plate 20 with a magnetic stirrer 18 dropped into the container 16.
- the stirring plate 20 magnetically displaces the magnetic stirrer 18 in the container 16 to vigorously mix the solvent 14 and saline solution 12 to produce an emulsion 22 of the two liquids.
- Mixing is conducted until the emulsion 22 appears cloudy to the eye (e.g., in this embodiment, for about 30 seconds).
- the emulsion 22 in the container 16 is exposed a heat source 24 (e.g., in the form of a hot water bath), as shown in FIG. 4 (stage C in FIG. 1), and preheated up to a preheat temperature of, for example, about 75°C or, in other embodiments, only to a temperature as low as about 40°C, with the elevated temperature reflected by the elevated mercury in the illustrated thermometer 26.
- a heat source 24 e.g., in the form of a hot water bath
- a preheat temperature of, for example, about 75°C or, in other embodiments, only to a temperature as low as about 40°C, with the elevated temperature reflected by the elevated mercury in the illustrated thermometer 26.
- the solvent 14 and/or saline solution 12 be heated before contact or mixing.
- the heat can be provided, e.g., by waste heat from another process or from terrestrial heat sources, from the ocean, or from simple solar heating from the sun.
- the emulsion 22 remains subjected to
- the solution 28 of the solvent with the dissolved water rises to the top of the container 16 and appears clear to the eye, while the concentrated remainder 30 of the saline solution separates to the bottom of the container 16, as shown in FIG. 5 (stage D in FIG. 1).
- the container 16 is then removed from the heat source 24 and the solution 28 including the solvent and the dissolved water is decanted from the container 16 into secondary vessels 32 (e.g., in the form of conical tubes), as shown in FIG. 6 (stage E in FIG. 1), and left to cool (e.g., in ambient air) back to room temperature, as shown in FIG. 7 (stage F in FIG. 1).
- the solution 28 cools, the solution 28 turns cloudy, indicating the precipitation of small droplets of water to form an emulsion 34.
- the emulsion 34 of the precipitated water and solvent can be subject to dielectrophoresis, as shown in FIG. 8 (stage G in FIG. 1).
- a power supply 40 is coupled via conductive wires 38 to a pair of electrodes 35 and 36 positioned at the bottom and top of the vessel 32.
- the power supply 40 produces a potential difference across the electrodes 35 and 36, wherein the non-uniformity of the electrode shape (e.g., a flat plate at one end and a needle at the other end) produces a non- uniform electric field that acts on the water droplets to separate them from the solvent.
- substantially pure water 42 which has a greater density than the solvent, is collected at the bottom of the vessel 32 and removed via a hole in the bottom of the vessel and collected in a water reservoir 44 (in this embodiment, in the form of a beaker), as shown in FIG. 9 (stage H in FIG. 1).
- the substantially pure water 42 can have a weight-to-weight salt content of, e.g., less than 1.5%, less than 0.14%, or less than 0.05%.
- an additional desalination can be employed after the above-described water-separation methods to reach a higher level of water purity.
- a second stage of desalination can be in the form of reverse osmosis or flash distillation.
- heat recuperation may be used to improve the system efficiency.
- heat released in cooling to precipitate out pure water can be used for heating up the salt-water-in-oil emulsion.
- One application for these apparatus and methods is in petroleum oil or natural gas production, wherein the directional solvent can be used to separate salts and other
- the fracking water can have a salt concentration three times as great as that of typical sea water and can include, for example, benzene and heavy metals.
- the produced water or fracking water is transported offsite for treatment and/or containment in above-ground pools
- soybean oil was used as the directional solvent. Soybean oil has a water saturation limit of 0.3% by volume at 25°C, and this saturation limit is expected to nearly double at 60°C. Soybean oil is inexpensive and readily available.
- An aqueous solution of sodium chloride was prepared to simulate sea water. The salt content of this solution was measured using a Horiba Salt Meter and was found to be 3.367% ⁇ 0.115%.
- This emulsion container was then placed in a hot water bath preheated to 75°C.
- the emulsion was left in the hot water bath for 24 hours (this incubation period may readily be decreased or increased to optimize processing speed or output) to allow some water from the emulsion droplets to dissolve into the oil.
- This directional dissolution of water into the oil is expected to render the remaining droplets highly concentrated with salt, and these droplets are expected to separate under gravity to the bottom of a container.
- the oil above the separated salt solution was decanted into six different 50 ml conical tubes and left to cool in air at room temperature. As expected, after several hours of cooling down, the oil appeared to turn cloudy again, indicating the precipitation of small droplets of water.
- the emulsions were subjected to dielectrophoresis.
- a non- uniform electric field was used to separate particulates (here, water droplets) from a host fluid (here, oil).
- the mixture was subjected to an electric field of about 2 kV/ cm for about 5 minutes.
- Significant separation of water from oil was observed. This separated and seemingly desalinated water was removed by a hole in the bottom of the conical tubes. About 1.5 ml of water was recovered.
- the recovered water was also tested using the Horiba Salt Meter and the final salt content was found to be 0.5833% ⁇ 0.0681%. Discussion:
- the final salt concentration was significantly less than the initial concentration, it is not at drinking standards of 0.05%.
- the remaining salt in the recovered water is attributed to the possibility that not all the undissolved water that contained salt was separated before decantation and eventually mixed with the pure water.
- the salt content can be reduced by subjecting the mixture to dielectrophoresis before cooling to enhance the separation of micro-droplets of emulsified highly salty water and thus reduce further the final salt concentration of the recovered water.
- this process can be used as a first (pretreatment) stage of desalination, in combination with, for example, the use of membrane-based water-separation technology in a subsequent second stage.
- this first-stage desalination process reduces the energy and cost needed for producing high-purity water in the second-stage process.
- Decanoic acid dissolves about 3.4% water (i.e., such that the solution includes about 3.4% dissolved water) at 33°C and about 5.1% water at 62°C.
- Pure decanoic acid is a solid below 30 °C.
- the decanoic acid was initially heated slightly (to about 30°C) to melt it before the saline solution was added, and the stirring plate 20 was heated to heat the mixture (as shown by thermometer 26 reflecting an elevated temperature) when forming the emulsion 22, as shown in FIG. 10. After stirring, the emulsion was allowed to stand on the heating/stirring plate 20 to allow for separation of the solvent and dissolved water solution 28 from the highly concentrated remainder of the saline solution 30, as shown in FIG. 11.
- the phase containing decanoic acid and dissolved water solution 28 was transferred to conical tubes 32 placed in a water bath 48, as shown in FIG. 12, where the contents were allowed to cool and stand for several hours before final separation of substantially pure water.
- heating was provided via a resistive heating coil 46 during dielectrophoresis to keep the decanoic acid above 30°C to prevent solidification.
- the substantially pure water 42 which has a greater density than the decanoic acid, is collected at the bottom of the vessel 32 and removed via a hole in the bottom of the vessel 32 and collected in a water reservoir 44, as shown in FIG. 9.
- This second experiment included experimental runs in which emulsion was heated to temperatures of 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, and 80°C.
- the desalinated water contained between 0.06% and 0.11% salt with a yield between 0.4% w/w and 2% w/w of desalinated water from the emulsion (wherein yield is the weight of water recovered divided by the unit weight of solvent used), depending on the top operating temperature.
- yield is the weight of water recovered divided by the unit weight of solvent used
- decanoic acid is a solid below 30°C, and thus if any solvent is left behind in the recovered water as an impurity, it may be easily removed by cooling the mixture below 30°C and separating the water from the solid impurities.
- Exergy consumption was calculated for an industrial desalination process using decanoic acid as the directional solvent and is summarized in FIG. 15, where exergy
- the energy to work conversion for the proposed process was done at Carnot efficiency, which is the theoretical maximum achievable using a heat engine. In reality, no heat engine is effective at the low operating temperatures used here, and the actual electric work equivalents would be much lower than those calculated.
- the dashed line 68 again is based on exergy consumption calculated from the solubility data from C. Hoerr, et ai, "The Effect of Water on Solidification Points of Fatty Acids," Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, Vol. 19, 126-128 (1942).
